Iron Sky The Coming Race Reviews

'Meh' Never summed up a film better

MoistMovies2019-05-07

I gave the first Iron sky a 8/10. For a crazy plot it somehow all worked really well, good humor. Some likable characters. And it felt cohesive.
The sequel on the other hand feels like a bit of a mess. You can see the potential for a better film and it's pretty frustrating. The VFX for a 20 mil budget is pretty good. But the plot is just ridiculous and not in a good way like its predecessor. Most of characters were not funny and badly written. It doesn't make sense in really badly written ways that i feel could've been easily changed to make it a bit better than it was and not so by the numbers with plot holes that take you away from immersion in the wacky world they're trying to represent. Personally if i wrote this film, I would've taken it in a entirely different direction.
All the pop culture references mostly didn't work as intended, instead of being funny it was just cringey.
And the ending was just dumb and rushed.
But I didn't hate the film, I was mildly entertained, enjoyed the visuals/world they created and because i liked the first film quite a bit, perhaps im being a little forgiving when giving it a 5/10. I can understand why people would vote it lower tho.
A younger, high audience may get more enjoyment out of this. I'm getting older and don't smoke bud anymore. Perhaps that made a difference in my enjoyment, I dunno.
I'd say to give it a go if you liked the first film, make your own assessment. I can imagine there will be some people who will like it. Its definitely not totally terrible.

Harsh reviews...

yamxt6002019-03-05

After reading the other reviews - and after seeing the movie at its Berlin premiere - I have to say I find those reviews a bit too harsh.
Yes, it's probably not gonna win an Oscar but what do you expect when you read the story?
I think it's a decent B-movie and there are certainly worse ways to spend 90 minutes of your life.
The CGI work is once again very impressive and if you really want to critize something, it's the dialogues which can hardly be any more wooden at times.
Besides that it reminds a bit of teens having their first encounter with the other gender - a long build up with a very quick finish (pun not intended).
And if you watched the Q&A after the showing: I think we're all waiting now for the third part with Udo Kier as Nazi robot crocodile where only his lower part works.
Watch it!

Over anticipated underwhelming excrement!

I have seen some really bad movies in my time and this doesn't even come close to bad it's terrible, special effects are poor script is awful acting is mediocre at best. Shame really at least the first movie was mildly entertaining.

Jesus Christ, it's just awful.

Loved the first one, seen it several times. Cult classic, got a few people to check it out.
This one, this so-called sequel.
This one is utter garbage. I don't think I laughed, cheered, or smiled once.
Seriously.
Wide berth.
The script, the characters, the acting, it's all just terrible.
God, it's a dog bowl of awfulness.
All of it.

Commendable special effects, mediocre script, & drowning in Political correctness.

Great job on the VFX & animations but lackluster on the most essential elements that mak
